Joe Biden's visit to the Island of Ireland, north and south of the border, essentially to mark the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement,will be worth seeing, particularly the massive entourage and retinue of Secret Service staff who accompany the US President of foreign tours
However,although Joe Biden has two ancestral ties to Ireland, his visit will be a pale imitation of the adulation that Kennedy got in the early 1960s, before his assassination in Dallas.
But then, Ireland (and the world) is a very different place now!

"I'm sure there will be plenty to fly the flag for arse-lickery and cap-doffing
Hopefully they keep him away from The Guinness Storehouse "
First port of call sure, just before we complain about being stereotyped as alcoholics |

It's not such a big deal, I know I won't pay much attention to it, Biden doesn't have the same pull factor as the likes of clinton had on his visit in the 90s |

All American Presidents have their own personae: Clinton was a womaniser, par excellence; Trump is narcissistic and with an air of arrogance that is off the scale; Kennedy built his political career on his ambitious father's connections the Mafia; but Joe Biden, in my opinion, seems to be lacking in any form of notable charisma, and gives the impression in his speeches, that he is starting to lose his marbles! |

so should everyone who was involved in a war be tried for war crimes now before you answer this think about it.

Yes they should
All governments not the people even though it was the electoral process but they made decisions that shouldn’t have been made without the elctioral discussion

"So, Biden's schedule has been released; I will be interested to see what he looks like in real life, in Carlingford, Co. Louth.
Will he look different there?
I'm now interested myself  "

But I'm not the principal politician, in what is touted as being the most powerful country on this planet, and therefore responsible for making important decisions; I think Joe Biden is too old for such an onerous job. |

Ya & I heard that there's suppose to up to 1,000 staff with him aswell. Money seems to be able to be pulled out of thin air for these type of visits. 
Personally I couldn't give a dam about it. Just hope I'm not stuck in traffic for long cause of it. |

From business perspective, this presidential visit is important because Ireland is a secure base in which to operate; if taxation of all types that US firms in Ireland pay into the Irish exchequer was to end, this country would be in dire straits.
The business elite of Wall Street and Silicon Valley will recognise this long visit as being a stamp of approval that Ireland is a good place to do business, and that the GFA had made a safe place to visit too.
Ireland depends on taxes from US firms in order be financially liquid, just as NI depends on money from the UK exchequer to artificially sustain living standards.
Biden will open the new Ulster University campus on York Street, Belfast on Monday 11th. |

"More hyped up shite for the masses with empty rethoric and populist sound bites. Biden appealing to the US Irish vote by going home to the old sod. Biden is about as Irish as Putin."
All presidential and royal visits are media events, but in this day and age, the images assumes greater importance than reality.
But if Joseph Biden was to announce that he is afraid to come that would send an adverse message.
Crucially, if Jimmy Carter dies, Joe Biden won't be coming; Carter is close to his demise. |

We are all responsible for making important decisions.. I'd even argue more important to our loved ones that Joe bidens decisions
You want to see how old he looks to judge weather or not he is too old !

I know which one I'd rather have in me corner if European war spills over ... don't think there isn't a silent undertone to this visit aimed at Russia too |

Keeps relations between the country strong, we need American investment and rely upon it to keep our economy going. Welcome him with open arms to keep relations nice and strong. A fair bit of Irish American tomfoolery but sure when hasn't that been the case when the US president visits. Alot of money spend on the visit but a tiny amount compared to the employment from American companies in this country. |

There's the tourism benefits aswell.
We all hate seeing another president knocking back a Guinness in some country pub but the yanks love it.
And we need them to come here and spend loads of money chasing their ancestral routes |

I think the Americans have copped on to the fact that they were being ridden sideways by Irish hotels, car hire etc, and I can't see this bringing them back.
I have a cousin in Massachusetts who used to visit regularly but he hasn't been since 2016 as he felt that he was seen as a money tree by our hospitality industry. Another cousin in Connecticut is the same.
We were also told that tourism from Britain would increase in the wake of the royal visit back in 2012. The numbers actually dropped after it. |

Someone is still paying those extortion prices, surely if no one would they came down quickly.
Templebar and the Guinness brewery made it into the top ten rip off places worldwide. I mean it's not bad for a small country like ireland to occupy 2 spaces in the top ten. |

The security in Belfast city centre this morning was unprecedented, esp around Grand Central Hotel
Dozens of secret service personnel with earpieces and dozens of minibuses with special codes on the windscreens.
I suspect Biden will be staying in the Culloden Hotel at Holywood; very secure, discreet and easily reached by road and chopper too. |

President Joe's tiredness after a long and arduous day eventually became evident with his faux pas about the Black and Tans, rather than the All Blacks
This end of the day mistake will have gone down well with some people, but not with others! |

"Let’s go Brandon!

Don't think you have to be a trump supporter to see sleepy Joe for what he is - a very old, confused man who gets lost in his own thoughts, doesn't have an original thought of his own any more and has this real strange addiction of sniffing underaged peoples hair.
Nothing against the man except the latter, but genuinely don't think he's fit to be a president of a fold, neverming a super influential country that could potentially get involved in WWIII

He just looks old and sorry but not capable of doing the job but than again I reckon the majority of presidents are puppets and it's the people behind that run the country. Trump was a loose cannon that they couldn't and never will.control but a lot of middle America love him |

When you're forced to pick between a geriatric and another geriatric who's also an unrepentant fraud who is beloved by fascists, the "geriatric" element becomes moot. |

If Biden is so old and pathetic, what does it say about the orange one that he couldn't even beat such a hopeless individual in an election? That's democracy for ya. |

Trump won't win hands down as that's simply impossible in a US presidential election given how divided the country is blue v red.
His supporters are pissed but will the small number who actually decide the election think the same way??
Remains to be seen. |

Your Christian life is shining bright again as usual.
To mock somebody for their ability to walk or talk is no different than to mock somebody for stuttering, so it is a very accurate assumption to make I would think |

That's the difference between trump and Biden. Trump was never fit to be president because hes like a child, his mind can only focus one thing and on his opinion on that wanting only.
Biden can make diplomatic and cultural toys while also taking care of his s***.
Trump sucks |

"President Joe's tiredness after a long and arduous day eventually became evident with his faux pas about the Black and Tans, rather than the All Blacks
This end of the day mistake will have gone down well with some people, but not with others!
I saw a 10 second clip of him earlier from what I can see he can barely walk stumbling along his speech is no better jumbling up his words, wonder what was the wisdom in making a geriatric the president of the US
He has to speak the way he does to overcome a massive stuttering problem he has .....then again you'd probably have a go if he stuttered
Not once have I heard him stutter and to suggest I'd have a go at him for that is a low blow, the point I was making is why an elderly man who can barely stand straight is the president of the US, it's not a good look, trump has even criticised his Ireland visit, the world on the cusp of WW3 and he's wandering around Ireland visiting 5th cousins and places his ancestors lives,silly stuff, hes about as Irish as refugee who's just landed in Dublin Airport
Your Christian life is shining bright again as usual.
To mock somebody for their ability to walk or talk is no different than to mock somebody for stuttering, so it is a very accurate assumption to make I would think "
The ability to walk and talk are 2 seperate bodily functions both involve the brain no doubt, row back there and realise I haven't mocked anyone I'm just observing what I saw with my own 2 eyes, he's unsteady on his feet and his speech is jumbled up, I have a very good friend who developed a severe stutter as a result of being sexually abused as a young child so don't preach to me I know way more about this than you ever will |

You're starting to sound like the orange one now with that last line
May I just respectfully point out that only idiots make statements like that last line in relation to someone you don't know. |

You mention Joe Biden struggle with motion and speech in the drug free form stating that it meant that he was not able for his job.
Because you have experience of a friend with a stutter does not give you monopoly on knowledge around stutters
For my own interest do you actually turn the saddle on your bike backwards considering you spend so much time peddling back |

My opinion of Joe Biden's ability and political nous has been elevated as I have watched him each day this week; no-one can rise to be the President of the USA and be an incompetent idiot!
His share of the Irish American vote is bound to have jumped several notches since last Tuesday. |

American psephologists are currently assessing every political aspect of Joe's visit to the homeland and the impact it may have on his potential re-election in 2024.
Political trips like this are essentially a vanguard for future US campaigns; it's a cynical business! |

I thought the security in Belfast was tight last week for Joe Biden's visit but I passed by Queen's University today and the security was phenomenal: Sunak, Clinton's, Blair, Johnson, Truss, Mitchell, Varadkar, Ahern all in the same location together.
The number of undercover cops in Botanic Park was incredible, with uniformed cops tripping over each other; the park rangers told me sniffer dogs had combed the park for hours, every building, bush, bin, path, seat and fence. The lot! |

If I was mean, I'd say... what a pity - on both occasions |

Ireland is awah with US presidents recently: Biden has just returned home to Wilmington Delaware; the Clintons were here a few days ago in Belfast; and Trump is about to land in Shannon enroute to the solebIrish outpost of his sprawling business empire at Doonbeg in Co. Clare! |
